@DocPop if you sell out in the first day, you didn't have enough. I'd say if you sell out in the first *week* you didn't have enough. This is also my beef with G2

@cwodtke I agree with that, but I'm a dude and I enjoy aggression and actively seek it out. To get what I want. To demand what I want. To make the world the way I want. Is the solution for men to be less aggressive (it *definitely* has downsides), or teach women to be more?

@ronkorving Comment stands. 99% of videogames are disposable and will be utterly forgotten -- and correctly so -- within 2-3 years. Hell they may be *impossible to play* due to obsolesence. Not the same as books and movies.
